About Southampton
Southampton is a historic port on England's south coast, with medieval walls, Titanic history and the New Forest and the Isle of Wight close by.
Southampton lies at the head of Southampton Water, a deep sheltered inlet that has made it one of England's great ports for centuries. Stretches of the medieval town wall survive, along with the Bargate, a gateway that once marked the northern entrance, and Tudor House and Garden occupies a medieval merchant's house. The Titanic sailed from here in 1912, a story told in the SeaCity Museum, and the Mayflower set out from the port in 1620.
Top-ranked sights in Southampton: Highclere Castle, Beaulieu National Motor Museum.
